Peace- Result of the Spirits own Fruit with Applied Faith
“Faith is a royal visitor which enters only the mind that has bee properly prepared for it; the mind that has been set in order through self discipline.”
Napoleon Hill. The Master-key to Riches. Random House Publishing Group. Copyright 1965. pp114
God’s law is not about rules and regulations any more. We are living by a new covenant. Today, God’s law is about his will being shown through his love in our lives. Jesus was sent to Earth to die for our sins and create a chance for us to have a relationship with him. Because of that amazing sacrifice, we have the chance to be governed by love. When we accept Jesus, his love starts to change the way we see things. It changes the way we act, the way we think and the things we say. ...
God is giving a chance to the common man. There is no background check in order to qualify for God’ kingdom. It is free to anyone who accepts it. When we look at scripture and see that Jesus went to Calvary for our redemption, it was not just for those that were good enough. It was not for those that were qualified, or elite. It was for everyone! No one was left out of the option to accept his peace.”
By Pastor Edward J. Thomas. Peace From The Inside Out Sunday, Mar 8, 2009. http://www.mychristianfellowship.org/apr26_09_peace_inside_out.php
The next Verse referenced by the Pastor is: John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
In addition We can study farther ourselves and say:
1Ti 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
(Notice there is only one name referred to here):
Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isa 9:7 Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.
So we see, there will always be an increase in Jesus Christ’s Government and Peace. If taken in Context People who are alive today always have the option to accept salvation, those who Pass from this world no longer have the option.
Hbr 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Peace is part of the Ultimate Goal for preparing the mind. Christ replaced the Worlds definition of peace with his own.
Dan 2:34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet [that were] of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
Dan 2:35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
Psa 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
Jerusalem = "teaching of peace" the chief city of Palestine and capital of the united kingdom and the nation of Judah after the split.

Hbr 7:1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
Hbr 7:2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
Scholars have told the Author that Salem was renamed Jerusalem By King David.
Psa 76:1 [[To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song of Asaph.]] In Judah [is] God known: his name [is] great in Israel.
Psa 76:2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
Mat 5:9 Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Rom 12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Luk 10:6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Joe 3:16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD [will be] the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. 2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Rev 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
Rev 21:25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
Rev 21:26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
Rev 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither [whatsoever] worketh abomination, or [maketh] a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
In Conclusion we must observe that Christ is establishing a Peaceful Kingdom. The whole Earth shall be commandeered by it. Then he shall even purge the Heavens. And Christ shall replace both. In Christs own time. Notice NO WHERE does it say that any of Fruit of the Spirit shall be replaced. Notice Peace is a fruit of the Spirit.
